Sigh. I guess there isn't any "min-release-age" for extensions ...

I think discussion with open registration is doomed precisely for this reason, it is too open to being influenced by bad actors. Maybe the lobste.rs invitation model would be better ...

I work at software in a medical setting. We are piloting an integration with a startup for measuring [some bodily variable relevant in ICU setting]. They are obviously vibecoding (docs are telling) and their API is failing in unexpected ways that they are not able to resolve. I am just waiting when this are going to harm somebody.

Love it. This needs to become a new trend, and price per token can't rise soon enough.

This is THE ONE domain where you would want to use classical machine learning and not unreliable LLMs. Unless you want to kill yourself, that is.

You are on a venture capital run forum. A lot of people here would approve of this business model, as long as it brings in monies ...

Underrated comment

With the amount of shit code generated it ain't gonna happen anytime soon.

Not even deterministic autocomplete.

It is. You can't tinker with someone else's machine.

This is exactly why is legislation like the Digital Markets Act needed.

Regarding US healthcare costs, I cannot understand why people are not in the streets with pitchforks. Most of Europe has this problem solved.

What is the root cause w.r.t. the current situation? Are there any obvious ways out? Do any US politicians have any plans for a change? Are there any discussed proposals how to reform?

Probably in cognitive surrender. I have one such colleague and he is driving me crazy. "Claude sad that ..."

I think there should be venues to speak anonymously, just not places where large-scale political discussion takes place.

It did solve the spam/russian bot problem on https://www.lide.cz/ . You have to verify yourself using a national ID and you discuss under your citizen name. The conversation is since somehow way more thoughtful and civic than say on FB.

Not that I am happy with it, it would be ideal to have my old internet back.

Text generation is now cheap, so I expect this problem to worsen. I hate to write it, but I don't see any other solution on platforms, that aspire to be a modern agora, than identity verification ...

Enjoy setting up a GoFundMe if you ever get cancer.

Only in America, where markets magically solve all issues.

This enforcement costs argument is wrong. The point is not to enforce such a ban, it's to signal where the collective consensus is.

I use my account only to mock @realDonaldTrump.

Real discussions with friends happen in group chats, without all the crap and noise.

That is why we need functioning states -- free markets won't save you in such a case. Though I found it is hard to explain especially to U.S. people, who put "regulation" on par with f words :)

Heh, that would be surely funny :) But most people at least know there is a new permit law and if they are not sure, they are to seek expert guidance. The model is even with explicit notification unable to reflect upon this fact. How it is supposed to be useful then?

When the mandatory speed limit in my country was reduced from 60km/h to 50km/h in cities, 95 percent of people instantly adapted.

I use AIs for coding with moderate success, but the more I work with them, the more I am convinced that "intelligence on tap" is a pipe dream, especially in domains where logical thinking in novel (ie not-in-dataset) contexts is required.

Recently, I tasked it to study a new Czech building permit law in conjunction with some waste disposal regulations and the result was just tragic. The model (opus 4.6) just could not stop drawing conclusions from obsolete regulations in its training dataset, even when given the fulltext of the new law. The usual "you are totally right" also applied and its conclusions were most of the time obviously wrong even to a human with cursory knowledge of the subject.

I ended with studying the relevant regulations myself over the weekend.

As a lover or Raft Consensus Algorithm, now I have to watch Mean Girls I guess.

'Artist' would be more fitting.

Generate hundreds repos of plain old spaghetti code and put it on github. Easiest thing you can do.

Exactly. Pick friends that do not behave like dicks.
